FRENCH FOR MIDDLE BEGINNERS A2
Tuesdays, 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM ON ZOOM
Starting April 7. 2026
Do you find that you understand quite a bit of French when you read it — or even when you hear it — but when it’s time to speak, you suddenly feel tongue-tied?
In this six-week course, we'll focus on overcoming the fear and hesitation that can hold us back from speaking freely. Together, we’ll practice speaking out loud without second-guessing ourselves. We’ll work with words, fine-tune our pronunciation, while we are working with stories and easy articles from various media. This will help us build sentences with confidence. Along the way, grammar and new vocabulary will seamlessly be woven into our practices.
We'll create a fun, friendly, and nonjudgmental environment where everyone supports one another. Apologizing for mistakes will not be allowed.

We will complete a range of activities designed to reinforce essential grammar and help you use it naturally and comfortably.
